Cupcake #99 **sold**


Chocolate, raspberries, all surrounded by a yummy creamy yellow, this is simply a delicious cupcake. Scott painted the highlights on this raspberry perfectly, they don't sparkle or shine, they just illustrate that soft dry texture of a fresh raspberry. Scattered with chocolate chips and flakes of coconut, if this doesn't make you go find your local cupcake shop, I don't know what will! And if this is #99, I guess that means tomorrow is 100! But don't worry, we aren't stopping there! There will be plenty more. And I'd love to give you a hint as to what tomorrow's will be, but it hasn't even been started yet! A surprise for all of us!

Cupcake #88 **sold**



This sunny yellow piece is sure to brighten someones day! A coconut cupcake surrounded by one of those colors that makes you a little happier just looking at it. This would be a great addition to a group, or for that matter a great piece to start a collection! Now while I have your attention, we have some announcements to make. Starting Monday we are going to start posting our daily cupcake a little later in the day, closer to noon EST to give the folks on the west coast a chance to wake up and have a coffee. That will even the playing field a little and give everyone a chance to get the cupcake of the day! And in case you haven't looked at your calendar lately, we only have 10 more cupcakes before Valentines day! And frankly, the last 5 will be a little iffy as far as getting them shipped in time. But we have other options, we will have gift certificates available for Valentine's, just email me for information. Or you could always take a peek in our zazzle store, the cupcake ties are fabulous! Just click here to see what we have!

Cupcake #83 **sold**


Wow, this is not a cupcake for those afraid of color! The orange and green really pop, even though they aren't true complementary colors, they are close enough to cause "vibration" between them. Red and green are the complements, but this green is bright and pure, and the orange is almost red, so like I said, not true opposites, but pretty darned close. Added to all this is a great coconut top with a beautifully painted bit of kiwi. This piece will be a knockout if you have a little dull spot or corner that needs some life! Have a great day!

Cupcake #35 **sold**


Such a pretty thing! A coconut cupcake on robin's egg blue, this reminds me of all things shabby chic, and of course a blushing bride! Could you imagine trying to paint a white cupcake with white coconut? You'd never see anything but white unless you enhanced the blues in the shadows, and the warm yellows where the light is reflecting...so much color in this 'simple' piece! This brings us to the end of 7 weeks on the daily cupcake! We'll see you Monday morning!

Cupcake #21 **sold**


Good morning everyone! This little number is fresh from a good weekend's painting in the studio. I don't know about you, but I can practically feel the coconut tickling my upper lip! For you color theory buffs out there, this is a good example of complementary discord. Complementary because red and green are opposites on the color wheel, and discord because the value of the red (it's lightness or darkness) is lightened to a similar value as the green. Probably more than you wanted to know this early on a Monday! Enjoy, and keep in touch, because I've seen some beauties coming down the stairs!
